BSc (Hons) in Occupational Therapy職業治療學(榮譽)理學士學位

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

Short Description

This programme nurtures students to be forward-looking competent occupational therapists who can promote health and well-being of people in Hong Kong.

A combination of medical, psychological and social science subjects prepares students to enhance functional performance in the self-care, leisure and work of community-dwelling people with disabilities. Students learn how to minimise disabilities, promote health and improve the quality of life of clients and their families.

The programme prepares students to deliver client-centred occupational therapy and to be committed to promoting equal opportunities for all members of the community. It also prepares them for helping careers in which they will empower clients to manage their disabilities, educate the public about healthy and meaningful living and pass down their knowledge to the new generations of therapists.

Other Language subjects (i.e. Category C) offered in the HKDSE Examination will be accepted as elective subjects. Grade E or above is required.

If students have taken both M1 and M2, they will only be considered as one subject and the best grade will be taken into consideration during admission selection.

Students endorsed by schools for meeting EDB’s specified circumstances and having achieved the required grade in Chinese in one of the following examinations will be regarded as obtaining a Level 3 in HKDSE Chinese for meeting our entrance requirements:

No penalty is applied to applicants with multiple attempts in HKDSE Examination. Similar subjects are considered once and the best grade will be taken into consideration during admission selection.

There is no compulsory subject requirement for our programmes. Preferred subjects, if applicable, are listed in the 'Entrance Requirements & Subject Weightings' section of individual programme entries. Satisfactory performance in preferred subjects will have a positive influence on admission selection. However, applicants who have not taken the preferred subjects will still be considered for admission but they may need to take relevant underpinning subjects after admission to PolyU.

For admission to the BSc(Hons) in Nursing and BSc(Hons) in Mental Health Nursing, students must have Level 3 or above in at least two HKDSE elective subjects from Category A. Please refer to www.hkeaa.edu.hk/en/hkdse/assessment/subject_information/ for details of the HKDSE subject categories.

The study places offered by PolyU through JUPAS are intended primarily for admission of local school leavers. Applicants who are studying a programme or have attained qualifications at the same or abovelevel as the programmes for which they are applying will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Please note that local and non-local applicants are considered under different admission routes with different intake quotas. Non-local JUPAS applicants seeking admission on the basis of HKDSE results will be considered in competition with other non-local applicants holding various international qualifications. Please click here for details on the admission requirements for non-local applicants.
